Susan Sarandon, 64, tells V magazine in their special age issue that “I wouldn’t want to be 20 now. I know so much more, and I’m much more comfortable in my skin, saggy as it is.” Adding, “If you’re upset with how you look at 25, life’s going to be tough.”
Meanwhile, Jane Fonda, 72, says, “There’s fabulous things about being older. The older people get, the less scared they are. All the studies show you’re not as anxious. People tend to have less hostility, they have less negative emotions. They tend to see things from both sides. Very few things stress me out.”
Whatever. They should call this issue: “Old People Say the Darndest Things.” When I’m 80, my favorite hobby will be to stare out the window waiting for death prepared to shoo it away with my cane. “Get away from me, death,” I’ll shout, violently swinging my cane at him as he throws a bunch of mail at me and walks away.
